Happy Birthday, Jesus!

UPDATED: December 14, 2023

Sunday evening, December 17th, at 6:00 pm, the Children’s Ministry will present their Christmas Program. Afterward, we will have our annual celebration of Jesus’s birth.

Please place your wrapped gifts on the stage along the front (per Krystal Osbon) (when you arrive or during the break after the program) and your monetary gifts in the offering plate located on the small table in front of the organ (to the right of the stage). Small children and their parents will be welcomed to the stage to unwrap the presents for Jesus.

Below is a list of gift options specified by MBBC ministries. Please prayerfully consider providing these or other items/funds as the Lord leads.
